Still... it was posted for a few minutes  .
I say don't worry about it. It takes a Hell of a while to collate and find out what the Hell happened when you host this thing . Give him 24 hours, I'd say.

Thought 1 - re: Question 2 "... I'll go down with the ship!" The true reason the ship sank was made evident from your answers. Participants who chose DanQ, Ming, MarkG and MtG all mentioned " The captain always goes down with the ship !". Obviously, as we careened towards the iceberg Ming was yelling "Hard to port!", DanQ was yelling "Hard to stern!", MtG was yelling "Reverse engines !!!" and MarkG was yelling something in Greek that no-one else understood !

I volunteer to do game three, but I do not promise to start the thread until the 9th.
Damn, I chose a sarcastic answer when I shouldn't have. (I voted for Ming to say "every man for himself" for the same reason I voted for GWB as smart.) It's the sarcastic answer. If I had voted for the serious option I was considering (Floyd, being psycho lunatic libertarian and all) I would have tied.

Handmelon IS American Football, so we might have a different winner if they are recalculated.
ACK!

Though by posting the WRONG name for the sport, the guy took a chance. For that, he should suffer the 1 point .

Well you know that it was mostly Euro's the said that, so the other six should lose one point because he is the only one that used correct Euro terminology!
ACK!

Darn! I should have gone with my original hunch and said "Battlefield Earth".
"George W. Bush" paid off handsomely, though.
